At the end of the 19th century, it was a period of rapid expansion of human telegraph networks. The transmission of information was truly achieved by a thousand miles. Although the transmission of telegraphs between Europe and Asia had to be transmitted through several transit stations, a telegraph could also fly from London to Beijing within three days.

This is an information transmission efficiency that humans dare not imagine. The intelligence system of the entire world has undergone profound changes due to telegraph technology.

But what is surprising is that at this critical moment of great change, the Chinese people led by Xiao Letian reached the forefront of the times, and Europe lags behind.

The CIA's investment in telegraph technology is currently the most important country in the country. The variety of encryption technologies have made the Chinese intelligence system the safest place in the world.

Not only that, the CIA has also raised a large number of experts who decipher codes, including a large number of mathematicians and engineers poached from Europe.

The first thing that fell was the Russian telegram codebook. Now the telegram from the Tsarist Russian Embassy in Beijing is unprepared for the CIA, and no secret can be kept.

The British telegram confidentiality level is much higher. At present, the CIA's degree of deciphering the British telegram codebook is only about 8%. Now it has only cracked the title of the head and ending of the telegram. In other words, a British government telegram, Wang Huaiyuan and the others can only judge that this telegram was sent to a certain unit or individual by the government agency in London.

For example, the British Ministry of Finance sent a telegram to Ai Liguo. Neither the sender nor the recipient was secret, but the content of the telegram could be found unless a spy directly stole a password book, or relied entirely on human resources to study and decipher it.

However, such a method was considered a god-level defiant in 1869. Don’t forget that the largest telegraph company in Asia is now controlled by Xiao Letian. The submarine cable systems from Ryukyu to Shanghai, to Tanggu, to Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Fusang, North Korea and to Nanyang are all laid by Chinese capital.

Controlling the submarine cable actually controls the main information transmission road in Asia. Although the telegraph company has British and American shares, the control is always in the hands of the Chinese.

Since the departure of the Tsarist Russian Expeditionary Force, the British intelligence stations against the Chinese have not stopped. They cooperated with the French intelligence agencies to get along with each other and began to collect a large amount of intelligence from both sides in the chaos of the war.

The most typical example is the operation against Ryuma Sakamoto in Hong Kong. Although Ryuma was finally stabbed by Ryuma, it was not the British who suffered the loss, but France and Tsarist Russia.

Later, British spies flocked to Ryukyu to find out the secrets of the Chinese people, the secrets of the Zhiyuan, various military intelligence, and various civil affairs information. They were extremely arrogant.

With Xiao Letian's personality, how could he tolerate these people being rampant? The CIA's counterattack has been secretly continued and it has been concealed very deeply. Until now, even Ai Liguo has fallen into a trap.

During the month when the war broke out, the telegraph system from Europe to Asia, especially the submarine cable, had failed several times in a row, and sometimes even interrupted communication for more than eight hours.

British intelligence officials analyzed that this may be because the impact of the war disrupted the daily maintenance work of the Telegraph Company, which triggered a series of telegraph failures, and Ai Liguo, Weituma and others did not care too much about it.

But what they didn't know was that this was actually a conspiracy of the CIA, with only one goal to prevent some of the latest news from Europe from being transmitted to Asia in time, causing the normal intelligence communication mechanism to cause chaos, and finally missed or lost.

Ai Liguo and Weituma had no idea that just when they were plotting to attack the Chinese and attack the Zhiyuan, a diplomatic conflict that was destined to be recorded in history occurred on the European continent, that is, the "Ems Telegram" incident.

The French-Prussian War is destined to start. Not only did Xiao Letian know about the historical development in advance, but more importantly, the time of the war was initiated by Beismai, and now a secret alliance has been reached between the Chinese and Prussia, and the cooperation between the two sides has long reached the level of allies.

If Prussia wants to unify Germany, France will definitely not allow such a thing to happen. The conflict cannot be clamped down, and the final outcome will be a bloody battle.

Prussia sought German reunification and demanded that Alsace and Lorraine regions be won. These all require a war victory. The French saw it very clearly, but the French were a little arrogant. They had always underestimated the Prussian determination to fight. At the last moment, the French still thought that using high-pressure diplomatic means could make the Bersmese surrender.

During the Pentagon War, the Pentagon War, France did not stop it, and the deception tactics of Pesme were very successful. While he used military regaining a large amount of land, he carefully lowered his posture in front of the French emperor, which gave the whole of France an illusion.

They felt that the Prussians were just cowards who picked soft persimmons and bullied Denmark and Austria. Faced with France, the world's largest army power and the second largest economic strength, these northern barbarians would never dare to show their bayonets to France.

Don't forget that Napoleon had defeated Prussia several times, and the people were full of teeth.

Before the Franco-Prussian War, diplomatic conflicts lasted for more than two years. The deep conflicts were of course land, colonies, national hatred, etc., but the external conflicts were the crisis of the Spanish throne.

France and Prussia both have their own supporters, and both sides also have the right to inherit the Spanish throne in legal terms. The two countries are unwilling tolerate each other, and diplomatic conflicts have attracted the attention of the entire Europe.

The Spanish issue is France's unshakable bottom line. Although France did not interfere directly in the PKD and the PKA War, it is because these places did not have a big conflict of interest against France.

But Spain is different. This is the French tradition of the rear. Napoleon III would never allow France to be in danger of being attacked from both sides.

The core interests cannot be challenged. This is a consensus among France, so in this diplomatic conflict, France seemed aggressive and strong.

In contrast, there are Bisme's maneuverable and flexible diplomatic methods, which are sometimes tough and sometimes weak, just like a shrewd sea fisherman and a big fish are putting their energy into a stamina, putting the fishing line at a time, and then collecting it again.

Gradually, the French patience was exhausted first, and a French diplomat named Benedti ignited the fuse of the conflict.

At that time, King William I of Prussia was on vacation at the Ems Hot Spring in Cobrendz, while many Spanish newspapers revealed that William I once again supported his cousin to inherit the Spanish throne.

The furious emperor ordered diplomat Benedti to personally ask the Prussian king why he always went back on his word as a king? Didn’t he have expressed his support for his cousin’s ascension to the throne?

Why are there so many opposite news now? Is this a conspiracy or have you really changed your attention?
